2011!

I hope everyone's year was filled with joy and that 2011 will be a year of peace for all.

A fun-filled 2010 zipped by for us. What's in store for 2011?

• Celebrating Matt's 30th birthday
• Hopefully a few fun little weekend trips - maybe Galveston or Hot Springs, definitely Waco and Austin
• Matt will be finishing his Ph.D. coursework in May, then studying for a few months to take comprehensive exams and hopefully be ready to work on his dissertation full time by the year's end
• I'll start my 8th year working in education
• Duncan turns 5 (I've heard that's when he'll magically become calm and well-behaved!)

Plus, I'm missing my 30-Before-30 List (and obviously work well with written goals) so I'm starting a new challenge list too.  Just for fun, and some much easier than others, I've picked out 11 tasks to try this year.

The 11 Things in 2011 list...

1. Take a camping trip or two
2. Make homemade biscotti
3. Practice yoga 52 times
4. Read at least one book every month (not counting work-related reading of course)
5. Spend a month as a vegetarian
6. Listen to live music somewhere
7. Celebrate a few food holidays
8. Spend some time on water (kayaking maybe?)
9. Do a No Spend Month challenge
10. Go on a picnic
11. And continue to post a photo of the week

Here we go! :)
